[0013] In some embodiments, the biomimetic temperature control tube includes a baffle, which at least serves to convert the direct current air output from the air outlet of the air conditioner into vortex air. The baffle includes multiple spiral baffle blades, one end of which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air outlet channel, and the other end extends into the air outlet channel. The multiple spiral baffle blades are evenly distributed circumferentially along the air outlet channel. The baffle can be a blade-type rigid structure, a strip-type soft structure, a screen structure, or a wire-like structure. The extension path of the air outlet channel is an arc-shaped structure.

The advantages of this invention are:

[0020] 1. This invention sets ventilation holes in the mounting frame and then sets up a turbulence fan in the ventilation holes to disturb the airflow direction. The direct wind is disturbed to form a vortex wind, which is changed from a direct blow to a gentle breeze with an inclined direction by the fan blades. This forms a wind that imitates the natural ecology, avoids the discomfort caused by direct wind blowing on the human body, improves the safety and comfort of cooling or heating, better meets the physiological safety needs of the human body, and further protects human health.

[0021] 2. This invention, by incorporating a biomimetic temperature control tube, further disrupts the airflow as it passes through its internal outlet channel, enhancing the simulation of natural wind and thus improving user comfort.

Detailed Implementation

[0037] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this invention more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specific embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this patent, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this patent.

[0038] This invention provides a biomimetic air outlet structure for an air conditioner. This structure is applied and installed at the air outlet 110 of an air conditioner, which can be a wall-mounted air conditioner, a floor-standing air conditioner, or a column air conditioner. The air outlet 110 of the wall-mounted and floor-standing air conditioners has a rectangular structure, while the air outlet 110 of the column air conditioner has an arc-shaped structure. For ease of installation, the external structure of the mounting frame 200 is consistent with that of the air outlet 110. In the following embodiments, the rectangular air outlet 110 of the wall-mounted and floor-standing air conditioners will be used as an example for illustration.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1. An air conditioning biomimetic air outlet structure 300 is used to install on the air outlet 110 of an air conditioner. It includes a mounting frame 200 and a turbulence fan 310. The mounting frame 200 is connected to the air conditioner to cover the air outlet 110. The mounting frame 200 is provided with a ventilation hole 210 that penetrates its own body and communicates with the air outlet 110. The turbulence fan 310 is rotatably disposed in the ventilation hole 210. The turbulence fan 310 includes multiple fan blades 311 arranged circumferentially. The radial direction of the fan blades 311 is intersected with the axial direction of the ventilation hole 210 so that the direct current air output from the air outlet 110 by the air conditioner drives the fan blades 311 to rotate and convert them into vortex air, which is then delivered to the outside.

[0041] The mounting frame 200 has a rectangular structure to correspond to the air outlet 110 of the air conditioner. The outer dimensions of the mounting frame 200 are not smaller than the outer dimensions of the air outlet 110. During installation, when the outer dimensions of the mounting frame 200 are larger than the outer dimensions of the air outlet 110, the mounting frame 200 is installed on the air conditioner and the entire mounting frame 200 covers the air outlet 110 to conceal it. When the outer dimensions of the mounting frame 200 are the same as the outer dimensions of the air outlet 110, the mounting frame 200 can also be installed and embedded into the air outlet 110 to completely cover the air outlet 110. The mounting frame 200 has multiple ventilation holes 210. The mounting frame 200 has a cuboid structure, and the ventilation holes 210 are perforated structures that penetrate the front and rear end faces of the mounting frame 200 along its thickness direction. When the mounting frame 200 covers the air outlet 110, the ventilation holes 210 are connected to the air outlet 110. The air output from the air conditioner air outlet 110 is then transported to the external environment through the ventilation holes 210. A rotatable deflector fan 310 can also be installed inside the ventilation holes 210. The deflector fan 310 can disrupt the airflow direction output from the air outlet 110. When the air conditioner outputs airflow to the outside, it outputs direct current air. When the direct current air passes through the ventilation holes 210, it is disturbed by the deflector fan 310, which converts the direct current airflow into vortex airflow before being transported to the outside. This can convert the direct current airflow generated by the air conditioner into a gentle natural wind.

[0042] In this embodiment, the mounting frame 200 is provided with multiple ventilation holes 210, and multiple turbulence fans 310 are provided. The number of turbulence fans 310 is the same as the number of ventilation holes 210. The multiple turbulence fans 310 are arranged one-to-one in the ventilation holes 210. The radial direction of the fan blades 311 is intersected with the axial direction of the ventilation holes 210, so that the DC air output from the air outlet 110 drives the fan blades 311 to rotate and convert it into vortex air. In order to output the airflow of the air outlet 110 more evenly, the multiple ventilation holes 210 are evenly distributed in an array on the mounting frame 200.

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, two rows of ventilation holes 210 are provided along the width direction of the mounting frame 200, and each row has four ventilation holes 210, that is, a total of eight ventilation holes 210 are provided on the mounting frame 200, and correspondingly eight deflecting fans 310 are also provided. One deflecting fan 310 is installed in one of the ventilation holes 210. It should be noted that the number and distribution of ventilation holes 210 on the mounting frame 200 are determined according to the size of the mounting frame 200 and the diameter of the fan blades 311, and there is not only one way. The axial direction of the deflector fan 310 can be aligned with the axial direction of the ventilation hole 210, so that the radial direction of the deflector fan 310 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the ventilation hole 210. When the straight airflow output from the air outlet 110 flows to one side of the deflector fan 310, the straight airflow comes into contact with the fan blades 311, thereby driving the fan blades 311 to rotate. The rotation of the fan blades 311 continuously disturbs the direction of the straight airflow, forming a rotating airflow. Multiple rotating airflows interact and disperse with each other, so that the straight airflow is converted into a turbulent wind after passing through the deflector fan 310. When it is delivered to the outside, the straight airflow forms a gentle natural wind, reducing the impact force of the straight airflow and greatly improving the comfort of the human body.

[0044] In the above structure, the straight airflow output through the air outlet 110 drives the turbulence fan 310 to rotate. The turbulence fan 310 changes the direction of the wind force, creating mutual interference between wind forces, causing the wind force to decrease or even disappear. Since the direct wind generates wind force, the wind force also generates wind pressure. The vortex wind decomposes the wind force, reducing or eliminating the wind pressure, thereby allowing the low-temperature gas to slowly diffuse. Users can feel the temperature drop and do not feel the cold air blowing. By changing the direct wind to a biomimetic vortex wind, the wind pressure is reduced. The vortex wind is closer to natural wind and does not affect the temperature regulation function of the air conditioner, i.e., heating or cooling. It meets the need to regulate room temperature and avoids the drawbacks of cold air or warm, humid air causing harm. It avoids the discomfort caused by direct airflow, further improving the safety and comfort of cooling or heating, and better meeting the physiological safety needs of the human body, further protecting human health. Moreover, the structure is simple, requiring no other driving mechanism, effectively reducing consumption and making it more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.

[0045] In the structure of the deflector fan 310, the diameter of the deflector fan 310 is less than or equal to 10mm. When the diameter of the deflector fan 310 is too large, the airflow output from the air outlet 110 is insufficient to drive the fan blades 311 to rotate, and the direct current airflow is also prone to escape, thereby reducing the deflection effect of the fan blades 311. Driving the fan blades 311 to rotate requires increasing the airflow of the air conditioner, thus increasing the load on the air conditioner and increasing consumption. When the diameter of the deflector fan 310 is too small, the airflow from the air outlet 110 cannot be discharged in time, which can easily cause airflow accumulation at the air outlet 110, and thus easily damage the air conditioner. In a preferred embodiment, the diameter of the deflector fan 310 can be selected as 4cm. In actual tests, when the diameter of the deflector fan 310 is 4cm, the airflow becomes very gentle at a distance of more than half a meter from the air conditioner, and at a distance of more than one and a half meters from the air conditioner, almost no wind can be felt, thus achieving a better effect.

[0046] As shown in Figures 9-11, the biomimetic air outlet structure 300 of this air conditioner also includes a vibration damping component 400. The vibration damping component 400 is fixedly connected to the fan blades 311. The vibration damping component 400 has a windproof section, the extension direction of which intersects the radial direction of the turbulence fan 310. The windproof section is used to at least block the airflow generated by the edge of the fan blades 311 from flowing in all directions. The vibration damping component 400 is a tubular structure, fixedly connected to the outer peripheral edge of the fan blades 311, and the axial direction of the vibration damping component 400 is consistent with the axial direction of the turbulence fan 310. The inner wall of the vibration damping component 400 forms the windproof section.

[0047] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 9 and 11, an anti-vibration component 400 is fixed at the edge of the fan blade 311. The anti-vibration component 400 has a wind-blocking part. When the fan blade 311 rotates, the edge of the fan blade 311 will generate airflow. This airflow will impact the surrounding air, thereby affecting the wind pressure around the fan blade 311, making the fan blade 311 prone to vibration. Therefore, an anti-vibration component 400 is fixed at the edge of the fan blade 311. The extension direction of the wind-blocking part intersects the radial direction of the turbulence fan 310. In this embodiment, the extension direction of the wind-blocking part is perpendicular to the radial direction of the turbulence fan 310. During the rotation of the fan blade 311, the wind-blocking part can block the wind generated at the edge of the fan blade 311 from flowing in all directions, restricting the direction of the wind flow, so that the wind generated at the edge of the fan blade 311 also moves towards the axial direction of the turbulence fan 310, further reducing the vibration of the fan blade 311. Furthermore, the anti-vibration component 400 has a tubular structure, with one end fixed to the edge of the fan blade 311, so that the fan blade 311 is located within the inner wall of the anti-vibration component 400, further improving the airflow concentration. In addition, multiple anti-vibration components 400 with different diameters can be provided, causing different levels of vortices to appear in the central part of the vortex wind, creating further mutual interference. Preferably, the multiple anti-vibration components 400 with different diameters are arranged concentrically.

[0048] In another embodiment, as shown in Figures 10 and 11, the anti-vibration component 400 may include multiple arc-shaped plates, the number of which is the same as the number of fan blades 311. One end of each arc-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the edge of the fan blade 311, and the extending direction of the arc-shaped plate intersects the radial direction of the turbulence fan 310. The inner wall of the arc-shaped plate forms a windbreak. In this embodiment, each turbulence fan 310 has four fan blades 311, and correspondingly four arc-shaped plates. The arc-shaped plates are connected one-to-one with the fan blades 311. Compared with the closed ring shown in Figure 9, the anti-vibration component 400 can effectively reduce weight and reduce the load on the fan blades 311. Furthermore, to further improve the turbulence effect, multiple arc-shaped plates of different diameters are spaced apart radially on each fan blade 311.

[0049] Example 2

[0050] This invention provides an air conditioning bionic air outlet structure 300. In this embodiment 2, the other structures are basically the same as those in embodiment 1. The structures that are different are as follows: the turbulence fan 310 is also equipped with a drive motor 500. The output end of the drive motor 500 is connected to the turbulence fan 310 to drive the fan blades 311 to rotate around a set axis.

[0051] In this embodiment, a drive motor 500 is connected to the turbulence fan 310. The drive motor 500 is mounted on the mounting frame 200, and its output end can be directly and coaxially fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the turbulence fan 310. The rotation speed of the fan blades 311 can be controlled by controlling the output speed of the drive motor 500 as needed. When the turbulence needs to be increased, the speed of the fan blades 311 can be increased by controlling the drive motor 500, which can better exhaust the airflow from the air outlet 110 and improve the turbulence effect. When the turbulence needs to be reduced, the speed of the fan blades 311 can be reduced by controlling the drive motor 500. The drive motor 500 improves the turbulence control performance and effectively avoids the problem of interfering with the turbulence effect by adjusting the speed of the fan blades 311 by increasing or decreasing the air conditioning fan speed, thus improving the ease of use.

[0052] In other embodiments, as shown in Figure 12, the drive motor 500 can also be integrated with the deflector fan 310, with each deflector fan 310 having an independent drive motor 500 integrated at its center. The integrated motor-fan design is a mature existing technology and will not be described further here.

[0053] In other embodiments, the drive motor 500 and the deflector fan 310 are separately configured. The drive motor 500 is mounted on the mounting frame 200, but the output end of the drive motor 500 is connected to the rotating shaft of the deflector fan 310 through a transmission device. Taking the example of each deflector fan 310 being configured with an independent drive motor, the drive motor 500 is located beside the corresponding deflector fan 310. The transmission device can be a transmission chain assembly, a transmission belt assembly, or a gear transmission assembly. Taking the transmission chain assembly as an example, this assembly includes a drive sprocket mounted on the output end of the drive motor, a driven sprocket mounted on the rotating shaft of the deflector fan 310, and a transmission chain sleeved on the drive sprocket and the driven sprocket. The drive motor drives the drive sprocket to rotate, which in turn drives the driven sprocket to rotate through the transmission chain, thereby achieving the purpose of driving the deflector fan 310 to rotate. In other embodiments, multiple turbulence fans 310 can share a single drive motor 500 and a set of conveyor chain assemblies. In this case, the conveyor chain assembly includes a driving sprocket located at the output end of the drive motor and multiple driven sprockets. For example, a driven sprocket can be installed on the shaft of each turbulence fan 310 in the first row, and the conveyor chain is simultaneously fitted around the driving sprocket and the multiple driven sprockets in the same row, so that one drive motor can simultaneously drive multiple turbulence fans 310 to rotate. A conveyor belt assembly can be formed by replacing the sprockets of the conveyor chain assembly with pulleys and the conveyor chain with a transmission belt. The driving principle of the conveyor belt assembly is the same as that of the aforementioned conveyor chain assembly. Each turbulence fan 310 can be equipped with a separate conveyor belt assembly and drive motor as needed, or multiple turbulence fans 310 can share a single conveyor belt assembly and a single drive motor.

[0054] In practical applications, the drive motor 500 is used selectively; it can be turned off or on as needed.

[0055] Example 3

[0056] Please refer to Figure 8. This invention provides an air conditioning biomimetic air outlet structure 300. In this embodiment 3, other structures are basically the same as those in embodiment 1, with the following differences: It also includes a biomimetic temperature control tube 320, which has an air outlet channel 321. The air outlet channel 321 is connected to the ventilation hole 210. A baffle fan 310 is rotatably disposed within the ventilation hole 210 or rotatably disposed between the ventilation hole 210 and the air outlet channel 321. The air outlet channel 321 is provided with a baffle, which includes multiple spiral baffle blades 322. One end of each spiral baffle blade 322 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air outlet channel 321, and the other end extends into the air outlet channel 321. The multiple spiral baffle blades 322 are distributed circumferentially along the air outlet channel 321. Specifically, the multiple spiral baffle blades 322 can be evenly distributed or unevenly distributed circumferentially along the air outlet channel 321.

[0057] In this embodiment, the bionic temperature control tube 320 can be one of a straight tube, an inclined tube, a flat tube, a round tube, a spiral tube, and a square tube. One end of the bionic temperature control tube 320 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 200. The bionic temperature control tube 320 extends in a direction away from the air outlet 110. The bionic temperature control tube 320 has an air outlet channel 321 inside, which is connected to the ventilation hole 210. The airflow turbulent by the turbulence fan 310 is then transported to the outside through the air outlet channel 321. The air outlet channel 321 is equipped with a turbulence-inducing element, which can further turbulentize the flowing airflow, increase the disorder of the airflow, and further improve the turbulence effect.

[0058] In the above structure, by setting up a biomimetic temperature control tube 320, the airflow is further disturbed when passing through the air outlet channel 321 inside it, which improves the effect of simulating natural wind and further improves the comfort of use.

[0059] In addition, the aerodynamic components can also be blade-type rigid structures, cloth strip-type soft structures, screen structures, or wire-like structures.

[0060] More specifically, the extension path of the air outlet channel 321 is an arc-shaped structure. In this embodiment, the extension path of the air outlet channel 321 inside the biomimetic temperature control tube 320 can be a spiral structure or a semi-spiral structure, etc., an arc-shaped structure. When the airflow passes through the air outlet channel 321, it can increase the interaction between airflows and between the airflow and the inner wall of the air outlet channel 321, thereby improving the turbulence effect.

[0061] Furthermore, the deflector fan 310 is movably connected to the ventilation hole 210, and the deflector fan 310 can rotate up and down or left and right relative to the ventilation hole 210. In this embodiment, the deflector fan 310 can rotate in the up-down or left-right direction. Firstly, this allows control over the general flow direction of the airflow, ensuring the user receives optimal natural wind regardless of their location. Secondly, when multiple deflector fans 310 are installed, some can rotate upwards, some downwards, some to the left, and some to the right, thereby enhancing the interaction between the airflows delivered by the multiple deflector fans 310. In this embodiment, the up-down or left-right rotation of the deflector fan 310 can be achieved using existing hinge rotation technology. For example, a bracket can be used to install the ball joint structure's socket portion into the ventilation hole 210, and then the rotating shaft of the deflector fan 310 can be rotatably mounted on the ball portion of the ball joint structure.

[0062] Example 4

[0063] Please refer to Figures 2, 3, and 5. This invention provides an air conditioning biomimetic air outlet structure 300. In this embodiment 4, other structures are basically the same as those in embodiments 1 and 2, with the following differences: It also includes a biomimetic temperature control tube 320, which has an air outlet channel 321. One end of the biomimetic temperature control tube 320 is connected to the mounting frame 200, and the air outlet channel 321 communicates with the ventilation hole 210. A turbulence fan 310 is rotatably installed in the air outlet channel 321. The output end of the drive motor is connected to the turbulence fan 310 to drive the fan blades 311 to rotate around a set axis. The air outlet channel 321 is provided with a turbulence element, which includes multiple spiral turbulence blades 322. One end of each spiral turbulence blade 322 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air outlet channel 321, and the other end extends into the air outlet channel 321. The multiple spiral turbulence blades 322 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the air outlet channel 321, or they may be unevenly distributed.

[0064] In this embodiment, the bionic temperature control tube 320 can be a round tube or a square tube. One end of the bionic temperature control tube 320 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 200. The bionic temperature control tube 320 extends in a direction away from the air outlet 110. The bionic temperature control tube 320 has an air outlet channel 321 inside, which is connected to the ventilation hole 210. The turbulence fan 310 is set in the ventilation hole 210 and the air outlet channel 321. The airflow turbulent by the turbulence fan 310 is delivered to the outside through the air outlet channel 321. The air outlet channel 321 is provided with a turbulence-inducing element, which can further turbulentize the flowing airflow and further improve the turbulence effect. In use, when the turbulence fan 310 rotates, the bionic temperature control tube 320 remains fixed. Airflow passes through the turbulence fan 310, forming a rotating wind. The air output through the gap between the air outlet channel 321 and the turbulence fan 310 is a direct current wind. Within the air outlet channel 321, the direct current wind and the rotating wind interact, further enhancing the turbulence effect. Furthermore, the turbulence-inducing element within the air outlet channel 321 consists of multiple spiral blades. These blades are arranged on the inner wall of the air outlet channel 321 and distributed circumferentially, further turbulentizing the airflow as it passes through the bionic temperature control tube 320, increasing the disorder of the airflow.

[0065] In addition, the aerodynamic components can also be blade-type rigid structures, cloth strip-type soft structures, screen structures, or wire-like structures.

[0066] More specifically, the extension path of the air outlet channel 321 is an arc-shaped structure. In this embodiment, the extension path of the air outlet channel 321 inside the biomimetic temperature control tube 320 can be a spiral structure or a semi-spiral structure, etc., an arc-shaped structure. When the airflow passes through the air outlet channel 321, it can increase the interaction between airflows and between the airflow and the inner wall of the air outlet channel, thereby improving the turbulence effect.

[0067] Furthermore, the bionic temperature control tube 320 can be movably connected to the mounting frame 200, allowing the bionic temperature control tube 320 to rotate up and down or left and right relative to the mounting frame 200. In this embodiment, the rotation of the bionic temperature control tube 320 in the up-down or left-right directions can control the general flow direction of the airflow, ensuring the best natural wind effect for the user in different positions. Secondly, when multiple bionic temperature control tubes 320 are installed, some can be rotated upwards, some downwards, some to the left, and some to the right, thereby improving the interaction between the airflows delivered by the multiple air outlet channels 321.

[0068] Example 5

[0069] Please refer to Figures 3, 4, and 5. This invention provides an air conditioning bionic air outlet structure 300. In this embodiment 5, it includes an installation frame 200 and a flow-disrupting mechanism. The flow-disrupting mechanism includes multiple bionic temperature control tubes 320. The installation frame 200 is connected to the air conditioner to cover the air outlet 110. The installation frame 200 is provided with a ventilation hole 210 that penetrates its own body and is connected to the air outlet 110. The multiple bionic temperature control tubes 320 are fixedly connected to the installation frame 200. The bionic temperature control tubes 320 are provided with an air outlet channel 321 that is connected to the ventilation hole 210. The bionic temperature control tubes 320 are at least used to reduce the air pressure of the DC air output from the air outlet 110.

[0070] In this embodiment, multiple bionic temperature control tubes 320 are included, and multiple ventilation holes 210 are provided on the mounting frame 200. The multiple ventilation holes 210 are arranged in an array on the mounting frame 200. Specifically, in this embodiment, two rows of ventilation holes 210 are arranged along the width direction of the mounting frame 200, and each row has four ventilation holes 210, that is, there are a total of eight ventilation holes 210 on the mounting frame 200, and correspondingly there are eight bionic temperature control tubes 320. One ventilation hole 210 corresponds to one bionic temperature control tube 320. It should be noted that the number and distribution of ventilation holes 210 on the mounting frame 200 are determined according to the size of the mounting frame 200, and there is not only one way. The bionic temperature control tube 320 can be a round or square tube structure. One end of the bionic temperature control tube 320 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 200. The bionic temperature control tube 320 extends in a direction away from the air outlet 110. The bionic temperature control tube 320 has an air outlet channel 321 inside, which is connected to the ventilation hole 210. When the direct current air output from the air outlet 110 passes through the ventilation hole 210, it is effectively reduced in air pressure by the diversion and blocking of multiple bionic temperature control tubes.

[0071] More specifically, the extension path of the air outlet channel 321 is an arc-shaped structure. In this embodiment, the extension path of the air outlet channel 321 inside the biomimetic temperature control tube 320 can be a spiral structure or a semi-spiral structure, etc., an arc-shaped structure. When the airflow passes through the air outlet channel 321, it can increase the interaction between airflows and between the airflow and the inner wall of the air outlet channel, thereby improving the turbulence effect.

[0072] Specifically, the turbulence-inducing mechanism includes at least two types of biomimetic temperature control tubes 320. The air outlet channels 321 of the two types of biomimetic temperature control tubes 320 have different structures, and the two types of biomimetic temperature control tubes 320 are alternately distributed on the mounting frame 200. In this embodiment, the turbulence-inducing mechanism may include two different temperature control tubes: a biomimetic temperature control tube 320 with a spiral structure for the air outlet channel 321 and a biomimetic temperature control tube 320 with a semi-spiral structure for the air outlet channel 321. These two types of biomimetic temperature control tubes 320 can be alternately distributed, thereby allowing the airflow output from different air outlet channel 321 structures to further interact and improve the turbulence-inducing effect.

[0073] Alternatively, as shown in Figure 6, multiple biomimetic temperature control tubes 320 are connected inside a ventilation hole 210. For example, three biomimetic temperature control tubes 320 are connected inside a ventilation hole 210. The structures of the three biomimetic temperature control tubes 320 can be the same or different to improve the interaction between airflows.

[0074] In addition, the air outlet duct 321 is provided with a baffle, which includes multiple spiral baffle blades 322. One end of the spiral baffle blade 322 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air outlet duct 321, and the other end extends into the air outlet duct 321. The multiple spiral baffle blades 322 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the air outlet duct 321, or they can be unevenly distributed.

[0075] An air outlet duct 321 is equipped with a flow-dispersing element, which turbulently affects the airflow as it passes through the ventilation hole 210. The flow-dispersing element consists of multiple spiral blades arranged on the inner wall of the air outlet duct 321 and distributed circumferentially, further turbulentizing the airflow and increasing its disorder.

[0076] In addition, the aerodynamic components can also be blade-type rigid structures, cloth strip-type soft structures, screen structures, or wire-like structures.

[0077] Example 6

[0078] The present invention also provides an air conditioner indoor unit, including any one of the air conditioner bionic air outlet structure 300 in embodiments 1 to 5 and an indoor unit body 100. The indoor unit body 100 includes an air outlet 110, and the mounting frame 200 of the air conditioner bionic air outlet structure 300 is connected to the air outlet 110.

[0079] In this embodiment, the indoor unit 100 can be a cabinet air conditioner as shown in Figure 1, a wall-mounted air conditioner as shown in Figure 7, or a column air conditioner as shown in Figure 8.

[0080] Example 7

[0081] The present invention also provides an indoor unit of an air conditioner, wherein the main body 100 of the indoor unit is provided with a cold air outlet and a hot air outlet located below the cold air outlet, and only the cold air outlet is provided with any one of the air-conditioning bionic air outlet structures 300 in embodiments 1 to 5.

[0082] The indoor unit 100 contains a refrigeration compressor and a heating compressor. The refrigeration compressor delivers cold air to the upper air outlet, while the heating compressor delivers hot air to the lower air outlet. The two compressors respectively fulfill the functions of delivering cold air upwards and warm air downwards. When the cold air flows through the upper air outlet, it is turbulented by multiple turbulence fans 310 in the air conditioner's biomimetic air outlet structure 300 before entering the external space.

[0083] In other embodiments, only one compressor and one air direction valve located in the compressor's air outlet direction can be installed within the indoor unit body 100. When the compressor is in cooling mode, the air direction valve directs the cold air output by the compressor to the upper cold air outlet. As the cold air flows through the upper cold air outlet, it is turbulented by multiple turbulence fans 310 in the air conditioning bionic air outlet structure 300 before entering the external space. When the compressor is in heating mode, the air direction valve switches the air outlet direction to direct the hot air output by the compressor to the lower hot air outlet. Dual-mode compressors (cooling and heating) are existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0084] The aforementioned indoor unit 100 is generally the indoor unit of an air conditioning system.

[0085] Example 8

[0086] An indoor unit for an air conditioner includes an indoor unit body 100, which includes an automatically opening and closing louvered air vent. The automatically opening and closing louvered air vent is a conventional design in air conditioning technology, such as the louvered air vent of a cabinet air conditioner, and will not be described in detail here.

[0087] As shown in Figure 13, at least one louver baffle 600 of the louvered air outlet is equipped with a rotatable turbulence fan 310. The DC air output from the air outlet of the air conditioner can drive the fan blades to rotate and be converted into vortex air, and then delivered to the outside.

[0088] In other embodiments, at least one louver baffle 600 of the louvered air outlet may also be equipped with a drive motor 500 and a deflector fan 310. The drive motor 500 and the deflector fan 310 may be arranged as an integral unit as shown in Figure 12. That is, the deflector fan 310 and the drive motor 500 are coaxially arranged and the drive motor 500 drives the deflector fan 310 to rotate. A bracket is connected to the center of the deflector fan 310, and the end of the bracket is fixed to the inner side of the louver baffle 600. After the louver baffle 600 is opened, the deflector fan 310 will flip to the louvered air outlet as shown in Figure 13.

[0089] In other embodiments, the drive motor 500 and the deflector fan 310 can also be arranged separately. A bracket is connected to the center of the deflector fan 310, and the end of the bracket is fixed to the inner side of the louvered baffle 600. When the louvered baffle 600 is opened, the deflector fan 310, as shown in Figure 13, flips to the louvered air outlet along with the louvered baffle 600. Simultaneously, the drive motor 500 is also fixed to the louvered baffle 600. The output end of the drive motor 500 can be connected to the deflector fan 310 through a transmission assembly to drive the deflector fan 310 to rotate. The specific configuration of the transmission assembly can be found in the transmission device of Embodiment 2, where multiple deflector fans 310 are driven to rotate by a single drive motor 500 via a transmission device. For example, multiple deflector fans 310 can be driven to rotate by a single drive motor 500 via a transmission chain, or multiple deflector fans 310 can be driven to rotate by a single drive motor 500 via a gear transmission, or multiple deflector fans 310 can be driven to rotate by a single drive motor 500 via a transmission shaft, etc. Further details will not be elaborated further.
